Still slowly dropping and not even a good poker score.

I did get an interesting comment though - said it was too bland. Maybe I should have gone for the DPC-friendly "wow factor".

I'm trying to comment a lot on this challenge, since I like this topic and I think it's good for DPC. But it's only going to get harder, since I've started from my highest scores and worked down. In fact, so far all I've written are a bunch of pseudo-haiku... :D

Turned on scores for a little peek.
Guess you didn't like mine either.

I'm wondering what's going on, I think it might be people are not considering it zen? It sure catches your attention though :)

I just wish you would tell me what you don't like about it or if the low comments are because it's not considered zen, oh well, I guess I'll have to wait for the post-challenge thread to ask

Edit: changed low scores for low comments, it's really what I meant to write

5.9?? what low scores?? your score is more than a full point higher than mine, so I wouldn't fret too much about MY opinion! ;)

Oh, I care about everybody's opinion, anyway, I wasn't complaining about the score, but the low number of comments :(, I like comments

well I'm 1/3rd through. lots and lots of 5s to slog through. I hope I don't get too much hate mail from this. I have gotten some very nice mail.

You have commented on 51 images (16%) in this challenge.

This is going way slow for me. I'm finding it difficult to explain why I don't view some of them as particularly zen so I hope folks don't get upset if I don't agree with their zen ideas. I still try to vote it based on the technicals and only knock off 1-2 points if I'm not getting a zen vibe.

I hope I can finish before voting is over!

I, for one, thank you Don for your Haiku. :-)

I was one of your sloggy 5's, but the haiku-ish part was nice.

Hate mail or otherwise, I am not zen enough to interpret your comment...

I also got a comment from you, talj. Thanks, very nice indeed. You did say that my image "doesn't shout Zen". Hopefully that point didn't influence your vote too negatively. My shot was actually intended to whisper Zen.

Thanks
